HYPER3™ IN-LINE REGULATOR
ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
USAGE
Carefully connect your air hose from your bottle or air system to the Hyper3™ In-Line. The Hyper3™
In-Line is set by the factory to approximately 185psi. This pressure should give you a velocity of
approximately 285fps.
ADJUSTMENTS
The output pressure of the Hyper3™ In-Line is adjusted by turning the brass seat housing. The seat
housing screw is located up inside the bottom of the reg. A
3
⁄16” Allen wrench will be needed for
this operation. By turning the housing counterclockwise, you will increase the output pressure of
the regulator to the marker. By turning the housing clockwise, you will decrease the output
pressure of the regulator.
After each adjustment of the output pressure of the Hyper3™ In-Line, you will need to cycle your
marker a few times. This will allow your marker and air system to stabilize at their new operating
pressure. The Hyper3™ will need a break-in period of about 2,500 shots to let its seat form to the
piston and reach its optimum performance.
MAINTENANCE
To ensure top performance from the Hyper3™, maintenance should be performed every six
months or sooner, depending on the severity of playing conditions. Cold, wet weather will shorten
the effective life of the grease. Heavy dust or fine sand can infiltrate the Hyper3™ and prevent the
piston from moving smoothly and/or cut the O-rings.
HYPER3™ REGULATOR DIS-ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
To disassemble the Hyper3™ regulator you will need a
3
⁄16” Allen key and a
5
⁄16” Allen key. Place
the
3
⁄16” Allen key inside the top cap and the
5
⁄16” Allen key inside the bottom cap. Unscrew the
bottom cap from the Hyper3™ body.
Next unscrew the Brass seat housing from the body with a
3
⁄16” Allen key. Slide the swivel from the
body.
To change the seat, pull out the old seat from the housing with a sharp object. Insert the new seat
in place and push it down with a flat object. Notice that it takes about 2000 shots for the seat to
perfectly sit into the seat housing. This is called the break in period for the regulator.
Remember to apply lube to the 010 and 013 O-rings in the regulator before re-assembly.
Further disassembly to service the top section of the Hyper3™ should be performed by
a trained Tech.

• The Hyper3™ can hold a small residual charge of gas, typically 1 shot.
Always discharge the marker in a safe direction to relieve this residual gas
pressure.
• Always remove the regulator from the M8 before servicing.
• Excessive dirt and debris can affect the Hyper3™’s performance and
increase the need for servicing.
